Weekend Wankshop 68: Kirk Hammett Master of Puppets Solo Secrets

Instagram/Twitter @BenEllerGuitars Lessons? BenEllerGuitars@gmail.com Hey chums! To celebrate the 30 year anniversary of Metallica's glorious Master of Puppets record, Uncle Ben Eller here is gonna give you a lesson on how to play the dope opening licks of Kirk Hammett's main solo. There's some arpeggios, some legato, some bends, and some... weirdness. one lick in particular has evaded accurate transcription, but i may be onto something here. Watch and learn the solo secrets!!! Playing my Suhr Modern Satin through an AWESOME hand built Cooper JTM45 clone, made by my buddy and amp tech extraordinaire Jon Cooper of Knoxville TN. Using a Wampler Pinnacle in front for the dirt plus a TC Electronics Flashback for delay. Sounds unreal!!!!

I recall reading an article some years ago in Guitar Player or Guitar World where Kirk admitted that the high E string slipped off the fret board. Something about how even though it was a mistake it kind of worked so they left it it. I can't remember if it was MoP or some other track. If this happened more than once maybe there's other tracks that have these little squawks or glitches perhaps?
